Delhi HC denies Vinesh Phogat interim relief to join World Championships trials
- The Delhi High Court rejected wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s plea to compete in India’s World Championship trials.
- Phogat was excluded under WFI rules requiring wrestlers to have won medals in the previous year to enter the trials.
- She had not competed since December 2024, including during her maternity break, leaving her without a recent medal under the rule.
- Phogat sought an exemption from the eligibility rule, arguing her break from competition should be considered, but the court rejected her plea.
